As detailed in the ASX release on 1 July 2014, KMLP’s application seeks FERC’s authorisation to construct and operate the Lake Charles Expansion Project, which would include the installation of compression and other related facilities on the existing KMLP Pipeline, facilitating the full required volumes of natural gas to be transported to the proposed 8 mtpa Magnolia LNG Project, which is located along the Calcasieu River, near Lake Charles, Louisiana, United States of America.
The FERC approval process for the Lake Charles Expansion Project will run in parallel with FERC’s regulatory review of the Magnolia LNG Project. FERC formally accepted the Magnolia LNG application on 15 May 2014, as announced to the ASX.
